  • Kingfish are without doubt close to my very favourite species. The vast majority of times you encounter kingfish there close to some nasty structure that can easiely sever your leader or braid.
    This time I was fishing a sizable swell of about 1.5m, shower,rain conditions and by myself which made it that much harder. Apart from that I knew it was going to be dam hard to land this fish. Fortunatly I used the opportunity and nailed it. Also being out of king season I was wrapped to have hooked a good fish. So not a massive fish about 10kg or maybe more but a sizable fish. #fishing #kingfish #fish

    I've watched a lot of Alex Bellissimo videos over the years but that is the most intense AB video I've ever seen. There are very few fishermen on the Eastern seaboard of Australia who could land that fish alone. Unbelievable display of experience and skill.
